Há Tempo Pra Voar

Verso 1
Um quadro pendurado no meu hall de entrada,
Embaixo, flores secas dentro de uma jarra.

Um serviço de chá em porcelana chinesa,
Metadona e diazepam na mesa de cabeceira.

Pré-refrão 1
Serves o chá em pranto realista,
Um filho da mitra, conotado de artista.
Sonho bairrista, nasceu sadista,
Pessimista.

Um quadro branco que, com o tempo, virou cor,
Em preto, um retrato queimado em dor.

Refrão 1
Há tempo pra voar e pra bater no fundo,
O tempo está a andar, mas o tempo é curto.

Verso 2
Deixado numa casa na maré do moinho,
Abandonado, aprendeu a andar sozinho.

Passo à porta, vejo a aurora no quintal,
Esquecidas, duas árvores num vendaval.

Eu volto sempre pela saudade e por amor,
Mas, quando fico,
Fico sempre pela dor...
Fico sempre pela dor...

Pré-refrão 2
Quanto maior a dor, menos se vê.
Mataram um, e vão matar outra vez.

Diz que faz, diz que faz, mas não faz.
Desfaz o feito por imperfeito,
Uma vida sem jeito
E sem respeito.

Refrão 2
Há tempo pra voar e pra bater no fundo,
O tempo está a andar, mas o tempo é curto.

Há tempo pra voar e pra bater no fundo,
O tempo está a andar, mas o tempo é curto.

Ponte
Não era amor que esperava,
Mas era a dor que precisava...

Refrão 3
Há tempo pra voar e pra bater no fundo,
Morre descalço quem espera por sapatos de defunto.

Coda
As cruzes que carrego
Lembram-me de quem já fui.
Antes, palavras; mas ninguém mais o viu aqui...

Deus perdoe os ossos que tem escondido,
Deus perdoe os ossos que tenho perdido.

Final
Há tempo pra voar,
Há tempo pra voar,
Há tempo pra voar,
Há tempo pra voar.

Há tempo para voar, e para bater no fundo

-----
On the third floor of an abandoned textile mill to the north of Preston, a wave of strange musical beauty is blossoming. Brought up on the sounds of 80s Manchester though too young to have experienced it first hand, White Flowers, made up of Katie Drew and Joey Cobb, make gloriously gothic dreampop that’s as ambiguous as it is beautiful and exciting.

On 15th January 2020, the duo release Night Drive the first track from their debut double A-sided single Tough Love Records which also features the track Portra.

Co-produced by Doves’ guitarist, Jez Williams, Night Drive’s guitars carry a Kevin Shields-esque drone, as they swirl above its fragmented arrangement. Apocalyptic in nature, it twists and turns - thematically covering anxiety, fragility and frustration, while reminding that, even in the lowest of moments, one should not lose hope. 

‘Creating and crafting the songs has always been a therapeutic outlet for us,’ Cobb stated. ‘It’s been a long process, but it’s been one which has helped us deal with the frustration, worries and difficulties that come with every day life. It’s definitely a very cathartic record. It serves as a kind of journal of growing up and maturing in the 21st Century.’

Having begun life as scraps of ideas on a laptop, the songs were carefully crafted by the pair, before Williams got on board. 

‘At times, it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture when you’re so involved in the song,’ Drew noted. ‘Jez was great at drawing out the most important aspects. A lot of the songs are first takes - recorded at home in a very lo-fi way, but Jez gave us confidence. He made us realise that the rawness and the accidents are where the magic is. As fans of Doves, we’ve always admired the soundscapes and sampling techniques that they use, so it was a privilege to work with him.
Prior to the release, White Flowers will be heading out on tour with Toy to celebrate Independent Venue Week. The dates are as follows:

25.01.20 – Independent – SUNDERLAND

20.01.20 – Esquires – BEDFORD
31.01.20 – The Joiners – SOUTHAMPTON
01.02.20 – Ramsgate Music Hall – RAMSGATE

The double A-side single, Night Drive / Portra will be released on 12” vinyl on February 14th and is limited to 100 copies. It comes in a hand stamped sleeve and includes a ‘zine produced by the band. The band’s debut album will be released later in 2020.

White Flowers - Night Drive

Originally from the Wirral (OMD land!), I now live in London. Almost all of my career was in IT, Project Management and lack of time and technology meant I never really pursued a music career. The lockdown and technology advances have meant I could teach myself and learn to compose songs. I don’t like to stick to one genre but rather try and ‘parody’ styles. Some melodies have been in my head for years and in some cases words have changed over the years. My aim is really to creat a ‘potpourri’ of sounds such that someone somewhere will enjoy something on here!!!!

I also create videos for my songs and for other artists . Same name on YouTube. 

If anyone likes a song/instrumental enough to want to use it (even if it means re-recording it yourself) feel free to contact me here. 

Stay safe.
